Nobel Peace laureate Navi Pillay urged the United States to defend human rights and return to what she called its traditional role as a global leader.

Pillay made her comments in The Hague, where she is a judge at the International Court of Justice.

The United States announced sanctions targeting the International Criminal Court hours after Pillay was named the Peace Prize winner.

She said the timing was troubling and showed that efforts to target international criminal justice had been developing for some time.

Federal agents searched the Washington home of Ilhan Omar, a Democratic member of Congress from Minnesota.

The Justice Department said the search was carried out under a court-authorised warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, but did not name Omar or explain the investigation.

Omar, who came to the United States from Somalia as a child, said the search was an attempt to target political opponents.
